Installed on vb 3.5.3, but does not display anything, I can see just text legend ?

The plugin contains code that looks like this (partial):

but I changed it to

Because I use only the "closetag" area. I don't set a color to span the user name, I use the closetag to apply a small icon to the user.

I noticed some people here are quoting their installs, and they show code similar to what I have. Did the code orginally look at both open and closetags, and now only looks at opentag?

I also added a check for any "isbannedgroup" groups, as they'll never show as logged in anyhow.

Before

After:


I have a padlock icon on my banned users (grin), but I don't want the "Banned" item to show up on the legend.

Great mod Amy :)

Hey what colors are you all using?

For the ones that were like me and didnt know how to install this. Goto Plugin System => Download/Upload Plugins and upload it. :)

Youll need to edit the user groups and add the color html tags in the HTML fields...

maybe this question has been answered, but I'm unclear. I want to upgrade to vB 3.5.3 will the legend hack automatically upgrade with it?

Mine did this too until I went into the usergroups and actually added in the code for color if not sure how to do that click the lil help icon by Username HTML Markup once the code is added in this works perfect..

Thanks for the plugin nice work clicks install

There's no point in having a legend if you don't have custom colors or styles for the usergroups. So, it only shows the groups that have custom colors or styles.

Although, if you've done the code edit version, you could easily change it to show all of the groups with a display order higher than 0. But, I'll leave that little modification to you as a coding exercise ;)

Amy,

I would like to make a request for this mod if I may.

I noticed that the legend is pulling its user group name information from the user group "Title" area located in the admin cp.

May we have this changed so that it pulls its user group name information from the "User Title" area located in the admin cp instead?

Or how about adding to the admin control panel where we can select which area it pulls the information from?

Thanks

Doug

Ok I asked this a few days ago and I don't know if it was just overlooked or ignore so excuse my ignorance as not all of us are experienced in html or modding VBulletin but Is there a way it can be bold on the forum display membership listings but not bold within the threads themselves?

Katholic, your question does not pertain to this modification.

dcpaq2, because of severe time limitations I am unable to take on your request.

The problem with pulling in user titles is that they can be anything. Some sites might have 30,000 users with 10,000 unique titles. Amy's plug-in reads from the usergroup table, which is small and tight, and available in the cache. The usertitles are not available in the cace because they tied to the user, and you wouldn't want a cache cluttered with info on 1000 online users.

It's not impossible, but it's not a good practical variation of her plug-in, IMHO.

usergroups would show twice each...anyone got a solution for this?

I don't see my usergroups twice. Not sure a solution is needed....

My titles are repeating themselves as below:

Administrators | Member | Miserable Users | Moderators | Senior Member | Super Moderators | Users Awaiting Email Confirmation | VIP member | Administrators | Member | Miserable Users | Moderators | Senior Member | Super Moderators | Users Awaiting Email Confirmation | VIP member | Administrators | Member | Miserable Users | Moderators | Senior Member | Super Moderators | Users Awaiting Email Confirmation | VIP member

What do I have to do so that it only shows one lot and not the above?

One of you with repeating titles problems pm me with admin login info. I can't reproduce this problem on my system.

Amy,

Are you on MSN?

Billp like mentioned in my post, the admin would have the choice of which "method" they want to use.

Im not sure about all the technical you mentioned but Im sure theres a way to accomplish this regardless of the reasons.

Hopefully Amy will be able to provide us with a solution to this when She has the time.

Doug

Found and solved my repeating problem :)

The plugin was installed 4 times? why I dont know, anyway I done the following:

Go to AdminCP >Plugin System >Plugin Manager

Search for Color legend for user groups

Its under Hook Location : forumhome_start.

I had 4 versions of the above plugin installed, I deleted 3 of them and now my legend is showing up once and working 100%.

Laters.

Is there any way to exclude certain usergroups even if they have a modified markup?

If you did the code mod part for display order, you could select on displayorder instead of checking to see if there is a font change. Then, set displayorder to 0 on the ones you don't want shown. I'm not posting the code here because I don't want to end up supporting more versions than I already am. And, as my code is released for coders only, I expect you will be able to make the change based on my suggestion ;)

Amy

Amy,

Because of this issue, your mod doesnt work for me as I have three different subscriptions and user groups that this has an effect on, so I am afraid that I am going to have to try a different mod instead.

If you should find time to do my request, then I might give your mod another try, but for now, its just not going to work for me.

Sorry... :(

Doug

i'm pretty sure this will need to be updated to work in 3.5.4 because of a new function that is installed. other wise you will get parser error.

Thank you :)

Install

Fixed for you M8 ok.

Please go and have a look here and see what I did:

Go to:

Admincp> Usergroups> Usergroup Manager>

Click edit on any usergroup "say administrators" and look at the Username HTML Markup. The code in there is what you had missing M8.

Please edit the hex code to a colour that you want or keep it as it is.

Laters

in my user groups, there is nothing in the html markup, what should I put there, I can do hex colors, idk what to put in those 2 boxes

thanks

Sample code.

1st box: <i><b><font color="F40000">
2nd box: </font></b></i>

Change F40000 which is hex code to a colour that you want.

Laters

Very Nice

thanks for code

i did almost that just missed one small thing

your question really has nothing to do with this mod and would be better posted in general vbulletin questions.

works a treat, cant complain thanks

Will this work with 3.5.4?

any way to get this to work for secondary groups?

dirtycrow, it works for secondary groups already. you don't have to do anything different.

nice and automatic, thanks

Anyone knows how could I make my custom order? Cause I would like to have "Head GMs -> Game Master" but I have "Game Master -> Head GMs".

Putting them in a custom order requires a file mod, and the instructions are in the thread.

Would you be so nice to guide me in this 17 pages thread?

It's near the beginning.

setting all the groups to zero doesn't make them NOT show. I set my first group to 1, but there is always one ahead of it...one of the zero usergroups. If I change that group to another number, like 23, it just replaces the first one with another zero usergroup. Any fix for this?
